The O.G. IGP Morteau Sausage by Boucheries Nivernaises

Tasting notes of the Curator

The Morteau Sausage is made exclusively from pork sourced within the region of Franche-Comté, where animals are traditionally fattened, ensuring its exceptional taste and authenticity. Smoked for a minimum of 48 hours in traditional tuyés over sawdust from conifer and juniper, this sausage is marked with a golden amber hue that blends beautifully with its rich, juicy consistency. The process imbues it with a uniquely savory and intensely satisfying smoked flavor, unmatched within its category. An experience of indulgence delivered by Hervé Bazin who passionately uphold the centuries-old tradition of creating this delectable Morteau Sausage.
